Why Is Love Necessary? Poem by Ramesh T A

Like a tall pillar, tree stands as if lifeless wood but leaves grow
And also, flowers bloom and fruits ripen to welcome all to give;
Silently and peacefully tree shows its love to all and teaches it;
Perhaps from this kind, good and great act love is known to all!

Stone statues off temple representing various gods and goddesses,
Give darshan to all devotees though many doubt whether they are really so;
If two stones are rubbed together, by friction, fire is produced surprising all;
This is because divine spirit within things of Nature activates all everywhere!

Divine love through Nature and things of it everywhere proves God is love;
Love gives all to living beings to be so and live a good life in peace ever;
By musing in Nature all these truths will be revealed sure to all for progress of human;
By this way, progress of heart, mind and soul is taught for making all free ever!

Freedom and peace for soul finally are got for it only in union with the Universal One;
For that only love has to be cherished by all to absolute state sans anxiety ever!
